Julio Llera of Miami Lakes Florida caught the winning bonefish fishing in North Key Largo on May 4th. The fish measuring 25.5 inches weighed in at 8.5 lbs. on his certified Boga grip. He caught it on his own fly pattern he calls the Llera's Crab Fly tied to a 12# Seaguar tippet.
Kenny Lau of Miami Florida caught the fish that finished second fishing in Islamorada in the Florida Keys on May 10th. The fish measuring 22.5 inches weighed in at 6 lbs. and was caught using a bonefish toad tied to a 12# Seaguar flourocarbon leader attached to a Monic fly line.
Julio's son Tony Llera caught the 3rd place fish on May 18th fishing with his dad again in the Upper Keys. This fish was a respectable 22.2 inches in length, weighed in at 5 lbs. and ate Julio's Llera's Crab Fly. It looks like Julio and Tony have this bonefishing thing dialed in! Great job guys!
Michael Larkin of North Miami entered the 4th place fish that he caught on May 15th fishing out of the Belize River Lodge in Belize. His fish was 15.5 inches long, a nice fish for the waters around Belize. Here's what Mike had to say about his trip to Belize.
"The three bonefish that I submitted for the tournament were caught at Belize River Lodge while fishing with guide Pedro. Bonefish were abundant and aggressive on the flats. I had a lot of success with a dark brown yarn crab fly. The bonefishing was excellent on my trip, but I spent a lot of time pursuing bonefish’s large relative (tarpon). I managed to hook some big tarpon but never got one to the boat. The one thing that was very clear to me on my trip was the diversity of fishing opportunities (tarpon, snook, bonefish, and other sportsfish) at Belize River lodge. That place is just fishy."
